Dear Justin Timberlake, We Freakin' Love You

Justin Timberlake was long known as the quintessential ladies man of the 2000s. Though never lumped into the player category, he was a more refined and sincere type of ladies man. The kind who could hook-line-and-sink any woman with his charm, a quality intensified by his ensnaring blue eyes and knee-weakening smirk.

JT had style and class. He was a loyal and true. And let's not forget his incredible sense of humor—see his five SNL appearances for proof. Want more evidence that Mr. Timberlake is the perfect lover? See below for this soulful romantic's most swoon-worthy statements. We dare you not to fall in love with him after this.

"Every relationship I've been in, I've overwhelmed the girl. They just can't handle all the love."

"A kiss shouldn't come from the mouth. A kiss should come from the heart."

While dating Britney Spears: "[S]he and I complement each other. She breathes fresh air into me; she's like a reality check. She's absolutely wonderful, an absolutely beautiful person, inside and out. When [negative] things are said about her, I take offense to them even more than she does."

... And after their rough breakup: "I love Britney. She has always been a bright part of my life. So I don't have any reservations talking about her. She's wonderful."

On first asking Jessica Biel out on a date: "I did it the old fashioned way—by telephone. That's something I learned from both my stepdad and my grandfather—that there is a thing called chivalry and it doesn't have to die with the birth of the Internet. The way I see it, if you're asking a girl out on a date, it's only right to do it in a way that she can hear your voice."

On being truly and deeply in love with Mrs. Jessica Timberlake: "Every once in a while, I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn't see me looking. I have this moment where I'm like, 'If you never make a good decision—if you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life—you made one really good decision."

On serenading Jessica:"I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle."
